Hydrosystems Engineering Reliability Assessment and Risk Analysis (McGraw-Hill Civil Engineering)

This is the first book to integrate reliability analysis and risk assessment with the planning, design, and management of hydrosystems (dams, levees, storm sewers, etc.). Requiring only a basic knowledge of probability and statistics, readers will be able to determine how hydrosystem structures will perform under various circumstances.
From the Back Cover
INTEGRATE RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT AND RISK ANALYSIS INTO PLANNING, DESIGN, AND MANAGEMENT
This comprehensive text is the first to integrate reliability analysis and risk assessment into the planning, design, and management of hydrosystems. Written by internationally respected authorities, Hydrosystems Engineering Reliability Assessment and Risk Analysis provides the tools for designing safer, more reliable dams, storm sewer networks, water treatment plants, and pollution control systems.
Offering example problems that demonstrate the prediction of safety and reliability under different design scenarios, the authors illustrate the application of mathematical tools that quantify reliability and risk. With this book readers can improve the performance, durability (through maintenance scheduling/time to failure analysis), and predictability of hydrosystem designs.
Hydrosystems Engineering Reliability Assessment and Risk Analysis:
  • Brings together in a single resource mathematical risk and reliability analysis methods needed to improve planning, design, and performance of hydrosystems
  • Demonstrates statistical and probability tools for solving a broad range of hydrosystem engineering problems
  • Provides the tools needed to predict hydrosystem project behavior and lifespan under various risk scenarios
  • Shows engineers and students how to conduct risk and reliability assessments
  • Offers examples of each application, in both U.S. and international units
  • Provides sets of Q & A's for self-testing after every chapter
